An Introduction to Cooperative Learning and Cooperative Games [ C4 ]

Great achievements in human history take place through teamwork, where members of groups cooperate toward achieving high aims. So it is with cooperative learning.

Educators throughout the world are increasingly accepting that cooperative learning enables students, from kindergarten to university, to achieve greater heights of learning and good character compared to competitive learning and individual work. However cooperative learning is not learned in a few hours of theory with little or no practice. To be good at it takes time and effort.

Therefore, this course puts teachers on the path toward better results for students' academic, moral, and social development. In it theory and practice are united. Otherwise the course would not be effective. If Norgay and Hillary didn't know how to get to the top of the Everest and did not practice the ways to get to the summit, the result would have been nothing.

v  Cooperation and Competition
